First of all, Easter on April Fool's Day is a bit strange in itself. Then, I attempted a fun evening of egg dying with my children and they were not that interested. Weird. Most the eggs in this picture were dyed by yours truly.
Then the weather was anything but Spring like. We had to bundle up for yet another chilly egg hunt in Stamford.
Warming up with some yummy cupcakes made by Aunt Sonja.
On the way home, Papa stopped at the farm and let Anna and Mason pet the calf in the barn. Our sweet Mason said, "I'm just so sad that calf is sick." That boy just melts my heart.
With Jentry being at her dad's, Isaac being a bit older and Tucker being little, cousin time was definitely a different dynamic. Anna and Mason played very well all day Saturday. We think they look the most alike of all the cousins and they had so much fun together.
Mason actually slowed enough to cuddle a bit with Papa.
Sunday we attended church in Alma with the Hamiltons. The service was wonderful with lots of great music by the Ehrke cousins, however it was different than being at the Presbyterian Church in Orleans. After church, we enjoyed a delicious lunch and yet another blustery egg hunt in Grandma's back yard.
Isaac was thrilled. Can you tell?
It is always hard to say goodbye, but Tucker was all smiles.
Mason played so hard he fell asleep with a goldfish in his mouth on the car ride home.
On the way home, we stopped to tell Papa and Onnie Happy Easter since the 8 inches of SNOW kept them from joining us in Orleans.
We certainly missed having Jentry with us, but thanks to technology we got to see pictures of her with her other siblings in her beautiful Easter dress.
This Easter was unlike any other I have experience but the truth remains the same. Jesus died for all, even us foolish people, so I guess a fool's Easter is fitting after all.
